Keep your eyes open in general... I'm known for being able to find things in my friendship group but my only skill is I *actually look* when looking for things.

I've noticed a really common anti, pattern in my own perception, and presumably in others as well, that I call "looking without seeing". Like, I could look at my watch to check the time but not even register the position of the hands before looking away again. Didn't see it.

Being able to really see what you're looking at is a superpower

Major difference seems to be immediately using a pre-determined conceptual category to register the looking - which can be useful - with actually seeing which requires relaxing those categories

A great example of this is looking at a tree. Often it's easy to just label it as "tree" and forgetting about it, but to actually look at the tree, to imbibe it, is quite diffferent. btw here is one of my favorite poems about this very thing:https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/57358/from-a-window-56d23acc9b231 …

Relaxing the category is exactly right. The shape of the pizza cutter in the drawer did not present itself in full conformance with its category. But if one looks for anything that could be part of a pizza cutter - there it is under the knife, the handle clearly sticking out
